Wiki Select Bookmarklet

last modified: July 27, 2003

is a WikiBookmarklet to view a page whose name is the text selected on a page. This is used to view one of the pages listed by clicking on the LikePages link provided at the foot of each page.

javascript:location.href='http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?'+document.getSelection();

The above works in Netscape; for Internet Explorer, use

javascript:location.href='http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?'+document.selection.createRange().text;

For either of the above, use

javascript:if (document.getSelection) {location.href='http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?'+document.getSelection()}, else location.href='http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?'+document.selection.createRange().text;

(Does any other browser require something different?)

To use, select text which forms a WikiName (by dragging the cursor across the text) then invoke the bookmarklet.

(See BookMarklet for instructions on using Bookmarklets.)
